More basic and cost effective than double-acting cylinders, these single-acting cylinders exert force in one direction and have a spring to return the rod to its original position.

Air-extend cylinders, also known as push style, use air to extend the rod. Air-retract cylinders, also known as pull style, use air to retract the rod.

Universal-mount cylinders have threads on both ends to mount in a fixed position or you can use the hole on the back end to pivot mount.

Nose-mount cylinders have threads on the front of the cylinder and install in a fixed position.

Built to withstand hard knocks, these cylinders have a thick barrel wall for more durability than standard air cylinders. They combine the form of a round body air cylinder with the rugged construction of a tie-rod body air cylinder. All are double acting; they use air to exert force in both directions.

Nose-mount cylinders have threads and a nut on the front of the cylinder and install in a fixed position horizontally or vertically.

Sensor-ready cylinders have a magnetic piston to activate relays and controllers. When the piston moves past the sensor (sold separately), the sensor activates. You can use multiple sensors. Attach one for each action you want to trigger.

With no external moving parts, these air slides provide a long stroke, but have a static footprint—only the carriage on top moves. They have a magnetic piston so you can use them with sensors (not included) to activate relays and controllers.

Sensor-ready low-profile slides have a shorter height than standard slides to fit in tight locations. Barrel is aluminum and end caps and carriage are plastic.
